Laser Hair Removal for Men

Laser hair removal is a versatile procedure that can effectively target various body areas including the face, back, legs, and arms. 

Although laser hair removal works on coarse and thick hair typically found in men, it may take more treatments and higher energy settings to achieve optimal results. 

To achieve optimal effectiveness, patients should ideally commit to six or more sessions at intervals of four to eight weeks. The growth cycle of hair is divided into three phases: anagen (the active phase), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Effective targeting of unwanted follicles by lasers is only possible during the anagen phase. Hair removal requires a series of treatments for complete results. 

The sensation during laser hair removal can vary among individuals, typically described by most men as a mild stinging or snapping. Our laser is equipped with a cooling system that helps alleviate physical discomfort. 

Laser hair removal is a widely sought-after solution for male individuals seeking facial hair removal, encompassing areas such as the beard, neck, and cheeks. Additionally, it aids in the mitigation of post-shaving discomfort, such as painful bumps.   

The cost of the treatment depends on the surface area treated and the total number of procedures required to achieve optimal results. 

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, waxing, or plucking four weeks before the treatment.  Shave the targeted areas a day before the session.  Do not take blood-thinning medications like aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs for maximum results. 

Shave the area being treated the night before your laser hair removal session to ensure effective targeting of hair follicles. After treatment, wait several days before shaving the treated area, until it is no longer sensitive to touch. 

Laser hair removal offers durable hair reduction with long-lasting effects, although it is not considered permanent in all cases. There is a possibility of some hair regrowth over time; however, the regrowth is usually lighter, finer strands that are less conspicuous than the original. 

At The Skin Rejuvenation Clinic, we offer The Nd: YAG 1064 laser, which is a hair removal treatment specifically designed for those with dark skin tones. It is a more traditional laser option. 

Laser hair removal is FDA-approved. The technology has continued to develop over the years, allowing for more targeted and long-lasting results. 

Laser hair removal for the back is frequently requested by male clients aiming to achieve a well-groomed and hair-free appearance. This procedure is highly effective in significantly reducing unwanted hair in these specific areas. 

The Forever Bare BBL device by Sciton, offered in Edina & Bloomington, is revolutionizing the treatment of unwanted hair. With its patented technology, it can comfortably treat multiple hairs simultaneously, making it easier and more efficient to treat even large areas in no time. 

There are age restrictions for men seeking laser hair removal. The procedure is not recommended for those under the age of 18, as the hormonal changes associated with puberty may affect the results. 

There are several considerations and differences in laser hair removal for men compared to women. Men tend to have thicker, darker hair which requires more powerful laser treatments than women.
